Guest graemeh72 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 As it says in the questions really, Henry to barca will without doubt leave Arsenal weaker ....surrounding the club in uncertainty and raising questions over Wengers position. So can a club outside the Top 4 realistically finish above them ... and if so ... who? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Us, Blackburn or Aston Villa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Pains me to say but the side with the most realistic chance is Spurs. If we come out of this transfer window well then we may possibly be in a position to challenge for 4th! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I definely think Arsenal and Liverpool (if they don't spend right this summer) can be ousted. Spurs are the most likely to do that imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 err... logic would suggest Spurs are at the top of the list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 theyre not a one man team, but it will put massive doubts in other players minds when Mr Arsenal leaves for sunny shores Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Tottenham have a great chance of taking them imo. If we sign like we should sign, we could possibly have a peak, but too many changes would need to be made, and too mnay players would need settling down. Our only plus point would be no Euro competition so we could focus on 4th place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eyeball_tickler Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 henry only played half the games last year and they still finished 8 points away from 5th with a considerably better goal difference. if they can get a 20+ goal scorer in they'll be fine.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Arsenal finishing top 4 the last two seasons has been more to do with Spurs falling short rather than anything Wenger has done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Henry was injured for a large part of last season but they only really missed him when Van Persie and Agbonlahor got injured too. With Van Persie fit and a new striker in to replace Henry I can't see Arsenal being any worse than last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest graemeh72 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Henry leaving isn't just about the man on the pitch imho I think he'll leave a huge "personality" & confidence gap which will rock the club ....lets not forget that they have already lost Dein too... Arsenal will be beatable next season... home and away... and taht could "pull" them into the group of teams below .........interesting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wally_McFool Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 If Wenger is allowing Henry to leave, I'd wager that he already has a replacement lined up, someone we aint heard to much of perhaps, like Gomis of St Etienne who is suppose to be the new Drogba of the French League.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 It's easier for a top club to get a good manager though I reckon. It's a lot harder to find a 30 goal a season striker like Henry who creates as many chances as he does. That's my opinion anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Way too early to tell. Wenger probably won't miss a beat. If I were to bet on any one of the top four faltering it would be Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
safc Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I do think Spurs are almost there. And if Henry does leave, I think it will pave the way for many to follow suit. Plus with Wenger looking likely to leave next summer Arsenal could be in a spot of bother. Spurs have been pushing for that spot really well over the last two season, however I don't think they wouldbe part of the big 4. It would become the big 3 again with Spurs being the best of the rest in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
